Cask tried. Rating bottle. Dark brown ale with red hints. Thick tan head which lasts and lasts. Nose is really nice quality treacle toffee, with a little charcoal in there. Taste is rich coffee, mixed with treacle - a really rich bitterness throughout the ale, but a nice finish which means you go back for more more more. Class.

Bottled. A black stout with a thin off white head. The aroma has coffee and blackcurrant cough sweets together with sweet licquorice. The taste is dry and roasty. The sticky sweet treacle is noticeable in the flavour and gives the beer a rich mouthfeel. A pretty good sweet stout.

A Sim rate (Winter Beer Fest): Aroma of caramel, ginger, bit of apple, serious maple syrup and of course, treacle. I could smell this all day! Nice dark appearance that’s not quite opaque. Glorious flavour. Same notes as the aroma, but with extra nuts. Quite a bitter finish. Very very enjoyable.
